You better double up our double down
I heard that Lenny Spooks was dead
They`re putting shiny copper pennies
On his tiny little head
Horses they still run
Ladies of the night
Still walk these streets in patent leather shoes
They`re is blood on every corner
But momma I don`t mind
You know I ain`t got nothing to lose
They said we were gonna have a good time
They said that everyone was invited
We all went down to Hollywood California
But honey don`t get too excited
They`ll tie you to the railroad spine
They`ll run you through your paces
They`ll leave you stranded in the shadows
Dying in the pews
Till you ain`t got nothing to lose
Time may come and heal the pain inside my heart
But I know these scars they will never fade away
Tomorrow`s not a promise that`s what she used to say
Boy you just be lucky that you eve got today
And though I`m barely breathing I ain`t shaking in my shoes
You know I ain`t got nothing to lose
You better double up or double down
You know there ain`t know way to fight it
Not with your nickel plated shirt stains
Not with your bottles of dilauded
You`re lying in the sun drowning in the night
You got everything `cept something I can use
There`s blood on every corner but momma I don`t mind
You know I ain`t got nothing to lose
